The three Republican candidates for Indiana's open U.S. Senate seat met here for their first debate Saturday.

From October to December, Young raised $749,163 - the second-highest total ever for a non-incumbent senator in Indiana for an off-year, according to Young's campaign manager, Trevor Foughty.

John Dickerson, a longtime advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announced Saturday he will join the Democratic primary.

Sen. Dan Coats has introduced legislation that would deny federal benefits for individuals with outstanding arrest warrants for a felony or parole violations.

Republican Rep. Todd Young announced officially Sunday that he will run for U.S. Senate - crowding the GOP primary field that already includes U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman and Eric Holcomb.

The fight to earn the Republican nomination for Senate in Indiana is now a three-way race between former State GOP chair Eric Holcomb, 3rd District Congressman Marlin Stutzman and 9th District Congressman Todd Young.
